At this time, the correlation coefficient of the two graphs represented by the dotted line of the vertical ground reaction force calculated according to the present embodiment is 0.96.
In the meantime, the second calculating
Forward direction ground reaction force GRF ap (t))
Anterior Posterior Ground reaction force GRF ap (t) can be calculated as shown in the following equation (1-1).
[Mathematical expression 1-1]
GRF ap (t) = GRF vertical (t) X tanAP ? (T)
Here, GRF vertical is the vertical ground repulsion force, AP θ is the angle between the vector from the right foot to the center of gravity of the body (body) and the vector from the ground toward the vertical direction to the sagittal plane to be.
The AP ? (T) can be expressed by the following equation (1-2).
[Equation 1-2]
,
Here, T is the time (stance phase time) while the foot touches the ground during walking, and the stride = key X 0.415.
The method of calculating the AP ? (T) is as follows.
First, as shown in FIG. 5, as the moment right foot touches the ground AP θ min, and when the right foot is that the falling moment of the ground AP θ max, the foot right to go to the T time (on the right foot touches the ground rear AP value of θ for a while falling from the ground for walking time) may appear in the form as shown in FIG. Here, the absolute values of AP θ min and AP θ max are the same, assuming that the back and forth strides are the same based on the body (body) of ordinary people.
The resulting linear function is
to be.Where AP θ min is the stride / 2 and the key X0.6, the center of gravity of the body,
.Substituting the AP &thetas; min value into the linear function results in [Equation 1-2].
Using this AP θ (t) and GRF vertical (t), GRF ap (t), which is the ground reaction force in the forward direction, can be calculated. It is also possible to apply the same method to the left foot.

As shown in Fig. 7, it can be seen that the forward direction ground reaction force (dotted line: deviation, solid line: average) calculated according to this embodiment approximately coincides with the forward direction ground reaction force measured in the force plate. The correlation coefficient of the two graphs is 0.98.
Vertical ground reaction force in forward direction ( GRF ml (t))
The medial lateral ground reaction force GRF ml (t) in the forward direction, which is the force generated in the lateral direction of the body (body) in the horizontal direction, can be calculated by the following equation (2).
[Mathematical Expression 2-1]
GRF ml (t) = vertical ground reaction force (GRF vertical (t)) X tan ML θ (t)
Here, GRF vertical (t) is the angle between the vertical ground reaction force is, ML θ (t) is, as shown in Figure 8, to the body (body), the center of gravity toward the vertical direction from the vector and the ground toward the vector of Is projected onto the frontal plane.
The ML ? (T) can be expressed by the following equation (2-2).
[Equation 2-2]
Here, DS is the time during which two feet are simultaneously touching (Double Support Time), T is the time during which the foot is in contact with the ground during walking (Stance phase time), and DS and T are constants.
The method of calculating the ML ? (T) is as follows.
First, the moment 8, the left foot touches the ground ML θ start is called, and when the right foot as the falling time in the left foot is ground to move the
Here, assuming that the center of gravity of the body (body) draws a parabolic curve when ordinary people walk, the following parabolic function appears.
The parabola is bilaterally symmetric with respect to the T / 2 value which is half the time (T) taken over one step, and the
At a time of T / 2 during normal walking, a constant value of 4 is set because it forms an angle of about 4 degrees between a vector pointing from the toe on the frontal plane to the center of gravity of the body and a vector perpendicular to the ground.
In addition, the moment the foot touches the ground and the moment the foot falls from the ground, it has an angle of about -1 degrees between the vector from the toe on the frontal plane to the center of gravity of the body (body) 4 - (- 1) = 5, the constant 5 is set. The first function of Equation (2-2) is derived using the parabolic function.
However, the ML θ (t) in a typical walking does not have an exact parabolic shape during the time during which the two feet touch simultaneously (Double Support Time).
When one foot ML θ (t) is -4 degree,
As a result, a function from 0 second to DS seconds and from DS seconds to T seconds is a graph for ML ? (T) as shown in FIG. 9 by adding the first function and the second function of Equation (2-2) .
Using this ML θ (t) and GRF vertical (t), GRF ml (t), which is the vertical ground reaction force in the forward direction, can be calculated. It is also possible to apply the same method to the opposite foot.
FIG. 10 is a graph showing vertical ground surface reaction force measured in the forward direction measured by using force plates and vertical ground surface reaction force in the forward direction calculated according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 10, the vertical ground reaction force (dotted line: deviation, solid line: average) in the forward direction calculated according to the present embodiment is approximately coincident with the vertical ground reaction force measured in the forward direction . The correlation coefficient of the two graphs is 0.84.
As described above, the three-axis (vertical direction, longitudinal direction, and width direction) pressure can be substantially the same as that measured on the force plate by using the values measured by the nine pressure sensors in the vertical direction surface reaction force.
Hereinafter, a method of measuring the ground reaction force using the above foot pressure measuring apparatus will be described.
11 is a flowchart showing a method of measuring a floor reaction force using the foot pressure measuring apparatus of the present invention. 11, in the method of measuring the surface reaction force according to the present invention, the
At this time, the insole base material 11 is divided into a toe region, a front region, a middle region, and a heel region according to a foot corresponding portion, and the toe region, the middle region, and the heel region are divided into two in the width direction, The full width region is divided into three in the width direction.
Further, the insole base material 11 has a plurality of sensing positions arranged in the longitudinal direction and the width direction.
The
In this state, the pressure value is measured at the sensing position where the
Then, the vertical ground reaction force is calculated by summing up the measured pressure values of the respective sensing positions and the derived pressure values (S20).
In this case, the interpolation method is a cubic spline interpolation interpolating using a third order polynomial spline. The cubic spline interpolation is applied to each of the width direction and the longitudinal direction of the insole base material, The pressure value at the sensing position can be calculated.
Then, based on the calculated vertical direction ground reaction force, the horizontal direction ground reaction force including the vertical direction in the forward direction and the forward direction is calculated (S30).
First, the forward direction ground reaction force GRF ap (t) of the horizontal direction ground reaction force is calculated using the following equations (1-1) and (1-2) (S31).
[Mathematical expression 1-1]
GRF ap (t) = GRF vertical (t) X tanAP ? (T)
Where GRF vertical is the vertical surface repulsion force, AP θ (t) is the angle between the vector from the right foot to the center of gravity of the body and the vector from the ground to the vertical direction is projected onto the sagittal plane to be.
[Equation 1-2]
,
Here, T is the time (stance phase time) while the foot touches the ground during walking, and the stride = key X 0.415.
For example, from the moment your right foot touches the ground, the moment your right foot falls from the ground is 0.8 seconds, the height is 170 cm, and the stride is 70.6 cm,
As shown in Fig.
The forward direction surface reaction force GRF ap (t) is calculated using the calculated AP ? (T) and the measured GRF vertical (t) using the equation (1-2) (S32).
The vertical ground reaction force GRF ml (t) in the forward direction, which is a force generated in the lateral direction of the body among the horizontal ground reaction forces, is calculated using the following equations (2-1) and (2-2) do.
[Mathematical Expression 2-1]
GRF ml (t) = vertical ground reaction force (GRF vertical (t)) X tan ML θ (t)
Where GRF vertical (t) is the vertical ground reaction force, and ML θ (t) is the angle between the vector from the foot to the center of gravity of the body and the vector from the ground to the vertical direction onto the frontal plane It is an angle.
[Equation 2-2]
Here, DS is the time during which two feet are simultaneously touching (Double Support Time), T is the time during which the foot is in contact with the ground during walking (Stance phase time), and DS and T are constants.
For example, if the right foot touched the ground for 0.8 seconds while the two feet were simultaneously touching the ground for 0.12 seconds while walking, the T value is 0.8 and the DS value is 0.12.
Therefore, when applying this to Equation (2-2), the lower formula of Equation (2-2) is applied up to 0.12 seconds, which is the time during which the two feet touch simultaneously from 0 second when the right foot touches the ground , And the upper formula of Equation (2-2) is applied until 0.12 seconds when the two feet touch simultaneously and 0.8 seconds when the right foot falls from the ground.
The vertical ground reaction force GRF ml (t) in the forward direction is calculated by using ML ? (T) and the measured GRF vertical (t) derived by using the above expression (2-2).
The above description has been made on the calculation in the order of the ground surface reaction force in the forward direction and the vertical ground reaction force in the forward direction and may be calculated in reverse order.
As described above, it is possible to measure both the ground reaction force in the forward direction and the vertical direction in the forward direction by using the vertical ground reaction force measured in the state in which the sensor unit is worn.
By applying this, it is easy to carry, such as a force plate, without being limited to a place, and it can be applied to various measurement environments.
The scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but may be embodied in various forms of embodiments within the scope of the appended claims. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
